Defined in header `<experimental/ranges/functional>` |  |
template< class F, class... Args > std::result_of_t<F&&(Args&&...)> invoke( F&& f, Args&&... args ); |  | (ranges TS)

Invoke the Callable object f with the parameters args, and return the result, as if by return INVOKE(std::forward<F>(f), std::forward<Args>(args)...);, where INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) is defined as follows:

- if f is a pointer to member function of class `T`:

  - If std::is_base_of<T, std::decay_t<decltype(t1)>>::value is true, then INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) is equivalent to (t1.*f)(t2, ..., tN),
  - otherwise, INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) is equivalent to ((*t1).*f)(t2, ..., tN).

- otherwise, if N == 1 and f is a pointer to data member of class `T`:

  - If std::is_base_of<T, std::decay_t<decltype(t1)>>::value is true, then INVOKE(f, t1) is equivalent to t1.*f,
  - otherwise, then INVOKE(f, t1) is equivalent to (*t1).*f.

- otherwise, INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) is equivalent to f(t1, t2, ..., tN) (that is, f is a FunctionObject).

### Parameters

f | - | Callable object to be invoked
args | - | arguments to pass to f
